Hello there @thinkthen!

Checking with my peers, the key error in your extract should be the following:

> _IPP ERROR: Application exception: System.IO.InvalidDataException: CMS signature blob size is too large for the allocated size, unable to create useful code signing data_

This issue refers to a recent conflict between UE’s IPhonePackager and the latest versions of Xcode, as it’s signature has changed to a larger structure. When UE attempts to read the format, it can’t handle the larger signature blobs, resulting in a crash.

The solution here would be to roll back your update, and go back to the previous version of Xcode you were using, until a hotfix is deployed on Epic’s end. And once you do the downgrade, please ensure that your cache’s project is cleared, either by using “Clean Build Folder”, or manually deleting folder “DerivedData”.

Message:  
In remote iOS build, ensure that Provision Profiles folder is created prior to installing the Windows specified provisioning profile on the remote mac.  
Work around new MacOS 26 codesigning CMS blob size errors by no longer enforcing that replacement signature on Windows be done in place of the one generated on MacOS as the size of these no longer match. This involves restoring the old code that was offsetting the \_\_LINKEDIT section to accomodate changes in the size of the LC\_CODE\_SIGNATURE section.
